Moreno has been one of Rodgers' leading transfer targets this summer and, after coming close to striking a deal for the defender, his interest appeared to wane when Sevilla refused to back down over their initial valuation.

A move for Ben Davies was considered before the 21 year old opted to leave Swansea for Tottenham, which seemingly reignited Rodgers' interest in Moreno.

Rodgers is keen to sign a left-back despite the return to fitness of Jose Enrique, who missed the final six months of last season with a knee problem, while Aly Cissokho failed to make the position his own during a season-long loan from Valencia.
